"The measure of a man can be found in his measure of devotion to the people he cares for the most."

—Saint Michael of Kal'Shabbol, Journal of the Whills 1:01^[src]

The attack on the Ophuchi sanctuary was carried out against the Ophuchi Clan sanctuary by Maul and the Guardians of Lettow, under the command of Lilith, during the Invasion of Utapau in 22 BBY. The attack was the second on the Ophuchi sanctuary in nearly twenty years, the first having been when Maul raided the compound while searching for Shmi Skywalker and her unborn child, Annikin Skywalker.

The attack began after Lilith murdered Jacob, the Ophuchi sanctuary guard, gaining access into the compound in order to search for and capture Skywalker. Lilith was able to successfully trap Skywalker after he was separated from Sarus, the leader of the Ophuchi Clan, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. It was in this trap that Lilith revealed to Skywalker that Maul and the Guardians of Lettow wanted to capture him alive, as they sought to help him destroy the galaxy as they believed he was destined to do.

Meanwhile, Maul tortured Sarus, whom he had dueled during the first sanctuary attack decades earlier. As the torturing continued, however, Maul and the Lettow were cast away by Ussej Padric Bac, the Shaman of the Whills, using an ancient Bendu ritual to end the assault. The attack helped solidify Skywalker's resistance to and hatred of Sarus, as he believed the hermit leader had known about the Lettow's beliefs and kept it hidden from him.

There are dark places in the galaxy, where few tread. Ancient centers of learning and knowledge. And there are bright places in the galaxy, equally aged and just as teeming with wisdom. Some are visited by millions or billions every standard year, while others go centuries without the sound of a single footstep echoing within their walls. Still others see regular use, but are hidden, shut away from the galaxy by the careful owners of such places. And, of course, there are those in between. Places that flicker with the softest light, and places that are just slightly tinted by the shadows of evil.

These auras, these details and features that characterize a city, planet, or star system are forged by history. The universe is like a lake, with history being a stone dropped into it. The stone affects not only whatever it lands on, but also whatever else is in the lake. Changes ripple outward from the center of impact, and after the broad ripples of history have reached a world, it is never the same. Depending on what sort of stone reaches the pond, some planets may see light. Others may see darkness.

Some worlds shift toward neither the dark, nor the light. These are very much in the middle, in many cases because history's changes have not affected them in particularly positive or negative ways. Other times, however, it is because the world in question has not been reached by history at all. In a galaxy with four hundred billion stars and well over twelve million inhabited star systems, there are places at the farthest reaches of inhabited space that even the mighty waves of history do not reach.
